you bobby-pinned your auburn hair back, | |
as we crossed over the washington state line in my grandfather's car | |
we were fleeing the scene of a california coast line, | |
where we buried our dreams among the gridlock and concrete | |
barefoot, we pulled off the road, and stepped into the summer night | |
and we drank greedily of greenery and open air | |
this was not the time or place to address | |
the emptiness that hung around us | |
or how the end of this trip birthed us with uncertainty | |
of what to do next |
